A crash victim remains in a critical condition following a fatal collision on the A12 near Chelmsford.

It is thought that two men were travelling in a car together at around 6.30pm on Bank Holiday Monday (August 27) when it came into trouble and pulled over on the southbound carriageway at the Boreham Interchange.

Both were then reportedly struck while outside of the car.

On Tuesday morning (August 28), Essex Police confirmed that a 36-year-old man from Woolwich has been pronounced dead at the scene.

The second victim, a 24-year-old man from Bexley, was taken to hospital by air ambulance in a life-threatening condition.
